Topic: Day Trips
Yesterday Larry, Ryan, and I went to Sherwood Forest. Yes, THE Sherwood Forest. :) (This photo was taken there. Watch out for two year olds wielding daggers!) It was Larry's idea, and it turned out to be a good one. The forest itself was pretty, and very relaxing to stroll through. There was a restaurant and visitor's center at the front, complete with the requisite gift shop. There were different trails through the forest, which were very stroller friendly. Yay! :) One of the attractions of the forest is the Major Oak, a tree believed to be about 800 years old. It's impressive. There was also a mini-medieval fest going on, with tents, and people demonstrating things like rope making and archery. It was neat.
We got lucky with the weather. We drove through some heavy rain to get there (it's about an hour and a half away from Harrogate), but the rain held off while we were there.
Today was a lazy day, which was nice.
This evening we saw Andre Agassi's final match ever. It was pretty emotional. He's had an amazing run and it's sad to see him retire. He seems to be a true sportsman and an incredible athlete. Tennis won't be the same without him.
Tomorrow we're going to Hadrian's Wall. It's something Larry's wanted to see for a while. It should be interesting.
I realize I am very behind on posting photo albums. I do plan on rectifying this at some point!
